Chapter 18: Valve

The mole cricket also brought some dried fruits that he had found out of nowhere, and placed them in front of the Xiliu girl.

A green grasshopper - that is Liuli Chunba, fluttering its wings and making a pleasant sound.

Although this banquet is small, it is full of organs, although I was here yesterday, everything is like a dream.

"Oh, this is a treasure cave for insects!" Long Jing shook his head and said.

"I was here yesterday and ate what I eat, no problem!" With this weird experience, I was a little worried that I would become a worm too, and it would not be a glorious thing to crawl in at night and chirp.

"Ho ho hehe, then who knows! Maybe you'll have wings tomorrow! Long Jing gloated in a strange tone like singing.

Melon slices hurriedly shouted: "Fly together tomorrow!" Fly together tomorrow! ”

At this moment, the big spider suddenly spun silk and wrapped the girl in Xiliu.

"Hurry up and save Miss Xiliu!" I grabbed Long Jing: "This big spider is going to eat her!" ”

"How do you know you're going to eat her?" Long Jing waved at me like a fly.

"Then, when spiders eat insects, don't they all spit silk and wrap them up first?" I was not convinced.

"Who said this is to treat Miss Xiliu as a worm!" Long Jing said casually: "Just look at you!" I won't take you to see the excitement next time. ”

I pouted unhappily, but after thinking about it, Long Jing was the dragon god after all, and he didn't want to see death or save him, so he puffed out his cheeks and stopped talking.

Miss Xiliu looked very happy, snuggling with the big spider, I really don't understand what else is lively and beautiful, wouldn't it be good to rescue Miss Xiliu directly!

Long Jing sat on the ground as steadily as Mount Tai, and took out a bunch of air-dried chestnuts from his arms, looking calm and munching.

The melon slices were also busy eating them, and Longjing actually generously gave a handful of melon slices, which is really rare.

Only my palms were sweating.

"For women? What is the happiest? Long Jing asked suddenly.

"Well, my sisters often talk about it, and they probably mean to marry a good man." I remembered the conversation between Qiu'er and Luan'er.

"That's it, in fact, for Miss Xiliu, it's better to be a spider." Long Jing ate a piece of chestnut skin and spit it out with a pop.

"It's better to be a human than a spider? No matter how you think about it, it's better to be a human being, right? Spiders live in dark and damp places every day, eat disgusting flies to survive, and can easily be pinched to death, will this creature really be happy? ”

"What do you know, this is called freedom, freedom, no matter what you do, the first thing is freedom, when you have nothing, you might as well go back to basics." Am I mistaken? Longjing, will he be so lonely? No, it's just that he's disappointed that the air-dried chestnuts are eaten so quickly.

The girl in the spider silk seemed to be asleep, and Long Jing stood up and patted his buttocks, waved his big hand to make a goodbye gesture, and pushed me back.

"Is it okay to go back like this? What to do with Miss Xiliu? I looked up at him.

"She chose it herself, so respect her will!" Longjing said: "Sometimes, pretending not to see is the greatest help to the person concerned. ”

When I returned home, I slept very deeply like that day when I watched the dragon and phoenix in Zhu's mansion.

In a daze, Miss Xiliu came, and she smiled and said, "Meicai, you want to congratulate me on a happy day." ”

I hurriedly said, "Dare to ask Miss Xiliu what happy event?" ”

Miss Xiliu's face turned red: "My benefactor, Uncle Zhu, it just so happened that there was no lady a few years ago, and he was willing to redeem me to go back to continue the strings, do you think this is a joy?" ”

I hurriedly said, "Congratulations, congratulations, girl!" Mei Cai has a lot of mouths, what is Uncle Zhu's character? ”

Miss Xiliu smiled: "It is very good to me, although it is a little older than me, it is valuable and loyal." After all these years, I finally saw the light of day, and I got such a destination, I still thank the dragon god for his protection, please help me thank the dragon god. ”

I nodded hurriedly: "When will the girl leave?" ”

Miss Xiliu said: "I have come to pick me up, I am thinking, I have never been sociable, I only say goodbye to you, Uncle Zhu's mansion is not far away, Uncle Zhu also told me, I can pick you up if you are lonely." It's just that after a while, we will go back to the Western Regions, and when the time comes, we will have to cherish each other. ”

I hurriedly said, "Miss Xie, the girl cherishes herself." ”

Miss Xiliu staggered up as if she was leaving, and suddenly turned around and said, "Uncle Zhu said, teach yourself to pay more attention, there are things around you." ”

"What? What's the big deal? I also hope that Miss Xiliu will clearly say, "I am curious."

Miss Xiliu pointed to me, just about to speak, I don't know where the thunder rolled, I opened my eyes, it turned out to be not thunder, I don't know who was knocking on my door, I hurriedly got up and opened the door, it was Luan'er, and the apricot eyes were tearful, whimpering, I was busy saying: "Sister Luan'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Luan'er cried: "Yes, it's Miss Xiliu, it was gone yesterday... ”

My heart sank: "What? ”

Luan'er sobbed and said, "Mr. said that he was exhausted and ran out of oil, but when we looked at it, there was still a shallow smile on our faces." In the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, there are all hard-working people. Let's make a good friend, the Qinglou woman is also buried in the mass grave, the funeral must not be a decent one, the Xiliu girl is lonely on weekdays, let's go and give her a ride! ”

I froze for a moment and nodded.

Miss Xiliu changed into a water-green gauze dress, her eyes were closed, her face was still smiling, and she had a faint dimple.

In Zhufu, Miss Xiliu must be very happy, right? Finally, there is no need to look at those weird faces.

Perhaps, Luan'er and Qiu'er are probably rabbits and foxes who are sad, feeling nostalgic for their life experience, crying pear blossoms with rain, I sigh, I hope everything is okay, everyone, everything is fine.

The apricot blossoms are blooming, and this season is a drizzle. In the spring season, it is natural to eat Yangchun noodles.

Our Yangchun noodles are made of new wheat milled and sifted, with pork bone broth and noodles, cut into thin noodles, boiled in chicken broth, beaten with a poached egg, sprinkled with some shallots, simple but long-lasting, although I don't know what Yangchun white snow is, but this refreshing noodles are the new favorite.

But the noodles are not good to soak in the soup for a long time, otherwise the strength of the noodles will be greatly reduced, and my father is pondering the amount of soda.

I was bored lying on the windowsill and watching the drizzle of apricot blossoms outside the window of the shop, flowing from the eaves to the window, making a splash, and then splashing on the ground, mixing with the muddy water on the ground and flowing eastward. Everything was foggy and damp, a little pollen smell of apricot blossoms, very unpleasant.

"Squeak." The closed door was opened, and when I looked back, it was the maid of Miss Qingyun, the new sister of Yanyu Pavilion.

She has a short figure, short facial features, a dark yellow round face with three layers of chin, and often greasy and greasy top of a few red bumps, which are a bit like shortbread. Wearing an autumn-scented crepe skirt and a sauce-colored vest, he first threw the umbrella on the ground in the house when he entered the door, and said: "What kind of weather, teach me to come out to buy snacks, and don't talk about a little master-servant affection - make people die!" Other people's maids are pampered, and I am an undesirable person with my unsatisfactory sister, Boss Mei, a box of osmanthus pine nut candy, and a box of film candy. While sitting down, he rubbed his flying cloud shoes stained with spring mud back and forth on other stools.

Dad accosted and smiled: "It's hard to be a girl, this weather is still out." After a while, I wrapped it in brown oil paper and disciplined the sugar for not getting wet. ”

Vallet snorted: "This is Boss Mei's business!" It's not like our sister, she can't watch people put down dishes, she just has a face, and she doesn't have any interest. ”

Dad quickly put the sugar into the kraft oil paper and wrapped it into an octagonal bag, and tied it with hemp rope: "Yes, then Miss Qingyun still has to rely on the girl's guidance." ”

"That's not it, originally, I know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what's at stake, it's not a broken family, if you talk about talents, I'm afraid I'm better than her - I grew up in the boudoir, I don't know anything!"

"Then it's a good thing that Miss Qingyun has such a good maid as you!" Dad handed over the candy: "Girl, put it away!" ”

But the petal didn't answer: "Isn't there plum vegetables?" Ask Mei Cai to accompany me to send it over, anyway, it is also the person who sent this, I can't stand this thin hemp rope in my hand," while opening her five swollen fingers like sausages: "People say that a woman's life depends on a hand, and my hand is really good-looking." But everyone praises it, not to mention abundance, but to be rich! Who doesn't feel sorry for me when they strangle my hand? ”

Dad didn't want me to go out in the rain, so he smiled and said: "The girl is tired, the shop is small, Mei Cai will have to help me roll noodles for a while, I really can't leave, so let's give the girl a box of spring cakes to try, not counting in the account, is it feasible?" "The things provided to my sister in the shop are all booked, and when the time comes, Mr. Mo will check the accounts together, and put the money into my sister's monthly silver, and if you don't keep the accounts, you will give it to her for nothing.

Valvale flattered: "It's Boss Mei who is polite." While picking up the three boxes, pretending to be a golden "eh", Dad hurriedly got up from the counter to send her off, watching her twist her round waist and walk into the rain.

After she walked away, her father sighed: "It seems that this Qingyun girl's life is not easy, how can there be such a maid." "I went back to make peace.

I thought to myself, this petal is really not simple.

Send the spring face at night, it happened that the rain stopped, I carried the basket to the smoke and rain pavilion, the early sunshine after the rain at dusk was very refreshing, the sky was reflected in the sunset into a faint red, very beautiful.

Entering the Yanyu Pavilion, it turned out that Miss Qingyun lived in the house of the former Xiliu girl, and walked through the stairs just past, but I heard someone shouting, I couldn't help but look at it, it was Valle and Luan'er, Valle crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed at Luan'er's nose with the other, and said: "The house of the dead is for us to live, why don't you live?" Our girl doesn't know anything, but don't be a bully too! It's okay to give up the house today, otherwise everyone will consume it, and it's a big deal to slap and stare at each other! Hengzhuo, your girl's business is good, see who suffers! ”
